I love this second shot! It's the first months of having a GSD in a nutshell!

They are fuzzygators.

You will be OK after he truns one, provided you have trained him consistently.

Give him things that he CAN chew on. When you catch him chewing on things that you don't want him to chew on, distract him with a toy. When you play with him, make sure to have a toy in hand so he doesn't think that your hand is the toy and okay to bite it.

Welcome to owning a herding breed puppy. This is why they are called "land sharks" Be prepared- you're in for a long phase. Be patient and redirect to something appropriate to chew on. Unfortunately, at 9 weeks, it will get worse before it gets better. Be patient! Consistency is key.

Biting.... EVERYTHING

Our 9 week old pup Max loves chewing. On anything and everything. Hands, slippers, baby crib. You name it, he likes to chew on it. He didn't do this before. It has just started here in the last couple of days. Any suggestions???
